W......T......F I am with Keith Michaels any way but Jeeeeeeze...
I am 26, 27 in a couple months with 8 years no claims... All engine mods where declared on this, the thing is i was insured with Direct line 2 years ago for £1000 fully comp. (engine mods were not declared, i mean they were *cough cough* HOW is that a quote!!!!

should be a bit cheaper if you pay it off in one hit, I'd image the APR is pretty high.

when I bought my WR1 I was 21 and the insurance was just over 5.5k ... even when I was 27 I was having to pay out 1,500 for a sti hatch. Scoobs are fast cars in the highest insurance bracket. As the car gets cheaper the insurance premiums are only going in one direction

To pay it off in one hit is the £9.4k, paying in installments comes to over £11k!!!

I use to own a wrx import registered as a gl, but i changed it on log book as even though insurance would have been cheap, the car wasn't worth as much

Is it no wonder people go uninsured these days? ( I am not saying it is ok )

How on earth insurance companies can even justify basically what amounts to extorsion ( excusse spelling ).

Calm down dear, lol!!!

Those high prices are the insurers way of saying ''thanks, but no thanks''.

The prices are just worked out by a computer, so no common sense is involved.
Those companies are probably after Joe Bloggs with his Focus Diesel rather than the performance cars, but instead of a simple 'no quote' they still offer a high price that nobody will pay.

last year was something like £1500 on the same sites, which is what has confused me, not that it mattered any way as i am insured with your company Gary... For £900... That is a big difference though.. £900 FC or £11k FC i think i will go with the first one..
